Eaten

Rage defrosts
 like a square of watermelon

with black hateful seeds

in a bowl
dripping juice

into 

   a pool of red

 collecting at the bottom 

The tender fruit is

   livid with life

and when I eat it

I destroy it 

with my teeth

I crack the seeds 

gnashing

and engaging 

with a "bad" thing

that I find sweet,

when I can transform it

into something edible

because I can eat the fruit or 

I can be so consumed by the forbidden

that I become the forbidden,

and get eaten 

again
